In Contexts, I summarize my recent Soc of Ed paper examining how young, struggling college graduates in the U.S. and Spain understand their social positions and sense of worth.

Spoiler: they're deeply unhappy that their expectations haven't panned out, but confident in their worth as graduates.

I personally am never certain whether to do this when referencing the published paper by name would very clearly signal who the author of the manuscript is--e.g. when the two papers are using exactly the same author-collected data. Any thoughts?
